S4P has Several ongoing projects concern combating
distortions of scientific research. This is an attempt to get those active in these efforts tog ather to discuss future
plans. It is formally a meeting of the Working Group on
Freedom of Research of Science for Peace, but it is open to
the public.
Time: 4:15 p.m. Thursday afternoon 14 January.
Place: WI2007D, University of Toronto. go in the 40 Willcocks Street entrance of New College and go up to the second floor.)
Some of us have been working against restrictions on federally funded research, for example, on the
environment.
Some have been working on defence of research in the health sciences against distortion by pharmaceutical industry funders.
Some have acted to expose unsupported claims of harmlessness of genetically modified organisms and products derived from them.
The need for watchdogs on government and industry in such matters is as great as ever. Let us try to contribute.
